Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 410 Daily Wasteland Collection (38)

"Manman, look outside, what is that?"

"Woooooooa ...

"..."

Shen Yao holds her several-month-old daughter in her arms, and the first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to point at the scenery outside the window.

Manman is a very active child, but his temper is too good.

When he is hungry, upset or uncomfortable, he will only hum a few times, and most of the time this child will not cry or make a fuss, which saves Shen Yao a lot of trouble.

Whenever Manman was sleeping, Shen Yao would organize the supplies that Cheng Qi had put into the space. The two of them could share the same space. The advantage of this was that Shen Yao could know what was needed at home without leaving the house.

"There are a lot of wild vegetables recently, and I put a lot of them in the space, but I still need more meat."

Green vegetables can only be used as side dishes. To fill your stomach, you still need crops and meat that are high in starch. More energy is needed to support human body activities.

"I plan to rent a car in two days to go hunting in the wild," the same place where I hunted wild goats last year.

Cheng Qi took a sip of water and then said that the limited supply of gene stabilizers has been officially put on the agenda by the base. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be implemented after the mild season ends.

Shen Yao:......

"The mercenary team didn't make a fuss?" It was understandable that the base's patrol team didn't make a fuss, because the gene stabilizer was supplied to them first, and it wasn't time for them to turn hostile.

But what about the mercenaries? They were private teams. Although the people were still members of the base, they did not work for the base. The relevant notices issued by the base were directed at them.

"The base has been appeased in advance. As long as the people above promise not to cause trouble, the people below will not cause trouble."

Cheng Qi pointed above his head and explained that the base had made a lot of preparations in advance before officially issuing the notice, which was why the base dared to cause trouble.

Shen Yao was speechless, thinking that the people above did not lose anything, and maybe they could make some money after calculating the circle, but what about the people below? They really wanted the horse to run fast but didn't want it to eat more grass.

If they continue like this, something bad will happen to the base sooner or later, so they have to leave as soon as possible.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to discuss the notification from the base, but instead focused their attention on the space supplies.

In addition to meat, Cheng Qi also plans to go to Changle Town to pick some fruits. You know, although fruits cannot be used as staple food, they are also rare and delicious snacks.

Children in the mutated world have a hard life, and Cheng Qi and Shen Yao want to provide their children with the best living conditions within their capabilities.

No matter what snacks or toys, as long as they can be made or bought, Chengqi will not miss them.

"Let's leave Changle Town for later. I'll go with you then." At most, we can just take the child with us. Even though he is only a few months old, he has a little fat on his body and is too healthy, so a trip out won't have much impact on him.

Some of them have been placed in other people's homes and have been carried out as ornaments.

Everyone was busy trying to survive, threatened by the sword hanging over their heads. Who would consider so many possibilities? They only knew that without food they would starve to death. It was that simple.

…………

A few days later, Cheng Qiming brought back half a wild goat's meat.

In fact, there were two large and two small pieces of raw meat, nearly a thousand kilograms, piled in the space.

"We encountered a small tribe," Cheng Qi did not say anything. Instead, he used the tools he brought with him to set a trap, filling the space first, and then found someone to do the subsequent finishing work.

Because of their good luck, they came back early, and Cheng Qi also had time to deal with the pile of meat in the space.

For this reason, the neighbors living around them complained after smelling the unique fishy smell, saying, "It's just half a piece of meat, why is it so slow to clean it up?"

"I think the things they brought back must be more than what we saw. Can the three of them finish them all?" A nosy person couldn't help but mutter.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Didn't you hear that the child is hungry? Hurry up and cook for me," an even more irritable voice came from behind, causing the woman who was speaking to be silent for a moment before complaining.

"It's easy for you to say that. There's no rice or noodles at home. What are we going to eat? I'd rather starve to death!"

"..."

Shen Yao was cleaning the minced meat. She heard the quarrel coming in through the window and whispered to Cheng Qi, "The couple next door are quarreling again."

Basically, they have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, and occasionally they even get into a physical fight. Even with all these quarrels, they have not yet separated, and they have three or four children.

Shen Yao couldn't understand it. When she first met them, she would give them some advice out of politeness. Later, she gradually got used to it and just let them go.

Now I can tell why the couple is arguing just by listening to the noise. It can be said that I have practiced this skill.

“People living in District B don’t have it easy, let alone ordinary people in other districts.”

Cheng Qi put the cut wild goat meat into the space and stacked it according to the position. The distinct pieces of wild goat meat were piled together so that it could be used whenever he wanted to eat it.

"Mom will be resting at home alone tomorrow. Should we send Manman over?"

Without the burden of children, they can gain a lot wherever they go.

"Send it there. Bring some wild goat meat. It's very nutritious whether stewed or hotpoted." This hunting trip was carried out by Cheng Qi and the patrol team. The Cheng family and the Shen family did not participate, so naturally they did not get any meat.

Cheng Qi nodded and said, "Send some bean sprouts from home. We harvested a lot of soybeans this time, so a bowl of beans can produce a lot of sprouts."

Moreover, soybeans are large, so you can make a dish by just sprouting a few of them.

Compared to most wild vegetables with a bitter taste, bean sprouts taste sweet and crisp. Whether they are eaten cold or stir-fried, they go well with rice and are very filling.

The two men worked until the evening to collect the meat they brought back.

The raw meat that should have been left alone has now become chunks of different sizes. Shen Yao took the opportunity to stir-fry two plates of it and made a big pot of fragrant rice. The family of three was very satisfied with the meal (the child was drinking milk).

The next morning, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi woke up and packed their things for going out. Before leaving, they quickly sent Manman, who was still sleepy, to Cheng's house and left him in the care of Cheng's mother.

"Mom, this is the milk and milk powder that Manman needs to drink," Shen Yao would not be back until the evening, so she certainly could not feed the baby in time throughout the day.

Fortunately, the base sells children's milk powder, which is rotated with the milk she receives. Manman eats it with great enthusiasm and is not picky about food.

Cheng's mother told them to be careful when going out, "Manman, I'll take care of you here, don't worry."

Mother Cheng is an expert at raising children. Whether it is Elder Brother Cheng and Cheng Qi, or the two children born to Zhao Xue, they were all raised by Mother Cheng alone.

Now I've asked Cheng Ma to take care of me, it's no big deal.

Shen Yao reached out and touched her red face, then turned around and went out with Cheng Qi.

They planned to go to Changle Town to collect the ripe fruits on the mountain first. After all, fruits were expensive and they could be used as currency even when they arrived at a new place.

"Let's go to the places above. There are apples and autumn pears there." We picked a lot last year, so I believe the harvest this year will not be too bad.

Cheng Qi had no objection. There were many fruits in Changle Town, and there were also many uncommon and rare fruits around, such as grapes, persimmons, longans, etc.

The space they have available is large enough, so they can pick as many as possible.

"I know a place where walnuts grow. Let's go and have a look."

"I'll go to the pine forest in a few days to pick mushrooms, hazelnuts, and chestnuts..."

Shen Yao pinched her fingers and muttered to herself, and found that they could pick a lot of things. The ones mentioned above alone were enough for daily chewing, and it would not affect anything even if they were sold privately.

Looking out the window through the glass beside her, Shen Yao felt a burning sensation in her heart.

Sure enough, stockpiling can make people happy no matter what time it is.

…………

More and more people have visited Changle Town in recent years, and the fruit trees in the surrounding mountains and forests have been destroyed. If it weren't for the high germination rate of the mutated seeds and the continuous growth of new fruit trees, this place would have been worthless to pick.

After parking the car at the foot of the mountain and locking it, Cheng Qi and Shen Yao went to several more remote collecting spots and harvested several sacks of juicy fruits.

Instead of taking them out, they were put into the space, leaving only a few in the backpack as a cover.

Because of their "miserable income", they attracted a lot of sympathy. A kind-hearted lady told them not to go into the woods, but to go to the open areas to pick tangerines and oranges.

Although tangerines and oranges are somewhat rampant in Changle Town, they are fruits after all and taste good, which is better than nothing.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi: ...

The two men thanked the old lady for the reminder with an embarrassed look on their faces, and then headed into the deep mountains and forests without hesitation.

Kind-hearted lady: ...

"These kids just won't listen to advice. What good things can there be in the mountains?" The old lady sighed as they looked at the rotten fruits that others didn't want, then turned around and went back to work with her companions.

We all just met by chance, and saying a few words to each other is already a sign of affection and loyalty. Who has so much time to meddle in other people's affairs?

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi went into the mountains and first picked two sacks of wood ear mushrooms, and then dug some herbs that could stop bleeding and clear away heat and detoxify.

Going further, there are two not-so-tall persimmon trees. The persimmons hanging on the trees are bright red like small lanterns, but the ones that are reachable on the ground have all been picked, so if you want to pick the rest, you can only climb the trees.

Cheng Qi is suitable for this job. Moreover, with the effect of automatic collection of space, Shen Yao can complete the inspection below as soon as Cheng Qi finishes collecting.

The two men cooperated well and threw away what they couldn't eat. Soon they had cleaned out all the fruits from the persimmon tree in front of them.

He continued walking forward, collecting whatever he came across. Occasionally, there were pheasants and birds and beasts that jumped out, and Cheng Qi would not let them go. Every arrow with his homemade men's crossbow hit the core, adding a lot of meat and vegetables to the family.

"Did you hear any noise?" Shen Yao grabbed Cheng Qi's wrist and tilted her head to look up.

Cheng Qi remained calm. The two looked at each other, walked forward, and suddenly saw a beehive that was half a person's height.

Licking the corner of his mouth subconsciously, Shen Yao thought of the honey he accidentally obtained when picking cotton last year. It was not yet time to pick cotton this year, but he didn't expect to come across a beehive somewhere else.

"Be careful, I'll do it, you find a place to hide yourself."

Although bee stings are painful, the taste of honey is rare, and neither of them wants to miss out on the benefit, so they just make a big deal.

Put a thick sack on your body to cover the exposed skin tightly.

Cheng Qi carefully climbed up the tree next to the hive, then chopped it with the long knife he brought with him. Before the bees could react, the fallen hive had been collected into the space.

buzzing-

Shen Yao knew nothing and tried to shrink her body and hide in the bushes until the sounds in her ears gradually faded, then she popped her head out.

First I looked at Cheng Qi's position, and then determined the honeycomb area in the space.

Wow!

It’s been done!

It's bigger than the hive we cut down last year, so we'll definitely harvest more honey.

"How is it? Are you hurt?" Shen Yao helped take off the sack on Cheng Qi's body, and took out the ointment from the space to apply on him.

In the end, I was stung twice, one on each side of my arms.

Seeing that the surface is already red and swollen, I’m glad that the tail hook inside is not there, otherwise I could dig it out first before applying medicine.

"I'll climb the tree to pick fruit later." The joy of seeing the beehive turned into heartache.

Shen Yao helped Cheng Qi to quickly leave the place of trouble, fearing that the swarm of bees would make a surprise attack.

"It's okay, it will be fine after two days of applying the medicine," Cheng Qi moved his arms to make sure that he was not affected in doing some basic movements.

Shen Yao glared at Cheng Qi and thought that no matter how tough and strong he was, he couldn't do this.

"Listen to me, just stay under the tree for the inspection." They quickly came to a few autumn pear trees and placed the backpack at Cheng Qi's feet. Shen Yao hooked her hands on the branches, turned over and climbed up.

There were two palm-sized autumn pears that were heavy, and Cheng Qi soon placed a large pile of them around him. All of them were highly mutated and inedible.

After collecting the edible autumn pears on the tree, Shen Yao jumped down to prepare lunch. The space was rich in supplies, and Cheng Qi had just been injured again.

She took out the meat that had been stewed until soft in the pot, and took out a small stove, lit the fire and heated it slowly on the pot. Shen Yao took the opportunity to wash some vegetables and put them in the pot. She just had to wait for the vegetables to be cooked before eating.

The staple food is steamed buns and flower rolls made in advance at home, which are soft when pinched.

Most of the food went into Cheng Qi's stomach. Shen Yao was just an ordinary person, but she had a normal appetite.

There was water in the space, and Shen Yao completed the subsequent cleaning work. Then she took out the woven curtain, and the two of them lay on it and had a simple nap.

After a good rest, the two left in the afternoon in the direction they came from.

However, he did not return by the same route, but chose a route he had never taken before. Whenever he came across fruit trees or medicinal herbs, he packed them all up and took them away.

After the two of them walked out of the forest and returned to the parking place at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yao secretly took out two baskets of fruit from the space and put them in the trunk, and then Cheng Qi drove back to the base.

I took Manman home and simply made a simple dinner like I did for lunch.

After eating and drinking, Shen Yao collapsed on the sofa holding her child and sighed that she would do the same thing when she has time in the future. She would prepare meals in advance and eat them directly when she is busy. It would save trouble and be convenient.

Cheng Qi took a hot bath, and the marks from the sting on his arm disappeared a lot, but it was still a little red and swollen.

Shen Yao took out two anti-inflammatory pills, believing that if taken orally and applied topically, she would be well tomorrow.

Recently everyone has been busy going out to collect and scavenge, so we can't delay anything.

"It won't be a delay, but tomorrow the base's plantation will open up some areas, shall we go?"

"Go, go, take Manman with you. Nothing will happen with us taking care of you."
